Any medical center may submit a value-based quality improvement, research or educational program abstract to be considered for oral podium or paper poster presentation at the Architecture of High Value Health Care National Conference. The abstract submission deadline is May 1 at 11:59 PM PST.
Preference will be given to value improvement initiatives demonstrating improved patient care effectiveness and quality, confirmation of patient care safety, and reduction in costs of care for patients. Additionally, we encourage projects that include student or trainee collaborators. Educators are invited to submit medical school, GMEC and CE/CME curricula that have been implemented and ideally evaluated for efficacy. Published data and previously presented projects will be considered for poster presentation only. The abstract review committee consists of HVPAA faculty representatives.
